Kind of like an early medieval warband serving under one lord before the concept of standard issue armor/clothing was implemented.
Thanks, this is the concept i pursue with the army, only the wight guard should be uniformed. Still as i look as the 10 warriors i painted now i think i went a little bit too colour happy considering the bones also show shade variations. Im gonna restraint myself a little bit on the pallete for the shields patterns while trying to keep them different from each other.

Lol. well this might be true, still im gonna be trying different bone patterns to add some variation on the army (and also making painting less monotonous); i did the same on the orcs and it worked out pretty well both for my motivation and for the regiments appearance.
The skeleton warriors all will be based on brown and bone colour, however the wights and black knights i want to make them grey/white as if they hadnt been risen from the mud itself and instead they are resting on their catacombs and coffins with their bones clean.
We will see how it turns out as i go further.

I think im gonna go with wet mud and some patches of burnt grass here and there. A friend also proposed adding rusty wargear on the bases and i will do it but not on every base, in a whole unit of 35 models like this one im painting maybe i add 10-15 rusty weapons and pieces of armour and other battle debris split among the members.
